Why It's Important to Renew Your CCNSG Safety Passport.

🔗 https://www.ecitb.org.uk/news/renew-ccnsg-safety-passport/

Whether you’re new to the industry or an experienced professional, renewing your CCNSG Safety Passport is essential. With regulations constantly evolving, maintaining up-to-date health and safety knowledge is vital in preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment.

Daniel Williamson, a fabrication supervisor with 18 years of industry experience, emphasises that renewing his passport not only safeguards himself but also provides reassurance that everyone on site is operating with the same standards.

💡Only 16% of girls believe a career in engineering is suitable for them.

We aim to change that perception!

Hear from APTUS students Rachel and Jessica from Forth Valley College, alongside Aiyanna, an ECITB Scholar from Richmond upon Thames College, as they share their advice for the next generation of female engineers.

Engineering construction careers are for everyone. To succeed in attracting and retaining diverse talent, we must focus on fostering positive and inclusive workplace cultures. This will help the industry recruit and retain talent from all walks of life.

We’re excited to announce that the ECITB is developing brand-new training standards and tests for Small Bore Tubing Inspectors, based on industry-leading Energy Institute guidelines for design, installation and management.

With input from industry experts, including authors of recognised guidelines in the small bore tubing field, the new inspector suite is set to raise the bar for safety and quality across the industry.

The new standard and technical test will be a new addition to the ECITB’s highly regarded and industry led small bore tubing suite. The Inspecting SBT Assemblies Training Standard is a progression route for those that already have completed the ECITB SBT 01 to 04 training and technical tests and have significant onsite SBT experience.

The training will give personnel the skills to develop risk-based inspection strategies, read and interpret complex P&ID drawings and enable the inspector to identify and produce corrective actions.

The training is also a route to competence via the ECITB Technical Test for SBT Inspectors.

As well as the standards and technical tests, the ECITB will also be developing an ECITB course with all the relevant materials ready for use by our Approved Training Provider network.

If any training providers are interested in delivering this new standard and test, please email [email protected]

ECITB COO Andy Brown attended the opening ceremony of the new CATCH UK Welding and Pipefitting Hub in Stallingborough on the south Humber bank yesterday to see first-hand how ECITB investment has helped increase learning capacity.

Training provider CATCH was awarded £300,000 of ECITB Regional Skills Hub funding to help upgrade its facilities as part of a joint venture with industry partners. It welcomed local MPs Melanie Onn and Martin Vickers, along with partners from across the Humber region, to open the Hub at its Skills and Apprenticeships Centre.

The expansion was made possible by a £1.5 million funding investment from CATCH’s sponsors in the region, including Viking CCS members Phillips 66 Limited, Harbour Energy, DRAX and ABP. Plus Air Products and Uniper, alongside funding from the ECITB and Humber Freeport.

COO Andy Brown said: “This build is a great example of collaboration both in terms of the funding partners that have come together to enable this to happen, but also the wider skills plan. What we see at CATCH is a statement of intent around working together as a region.”
